Description
- This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2008-0065712, filed on Jul. 7, 2008, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to an electric hair clipper blade assembly having a guide plate connected with a fixed blade and a movable blade that moves in left and right directions and a horizontal direction and a connection/fixed member. In particular, the present invention relates to an electric hair clipper blade assembly having fixed and movable blades with depths deeper than those of conventional fixed and movable blades and a blade body DLC-coated, on which a portion of the guide plate, the fixed blade, and the movable blade are formed, to maintain fairly good cutting power in cutting various types of hair including short hair or curly hair.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Usually, a conventional electric hair clipper includes a fixed blade, a movable blade being movable in a horizontal direction to cut hairs, and a plate for supporting the fixed blade and the movable blade. The fixed blade is positioned on the front portion of the electric hair clipper and the movable blade is located on or over the fixed blade and moves in the left/right and horizontal directions by an operation of an electric motor to cut hairs.
- However, in a conventional hair clipper, the fixed blade has comb teeth of a shallow depth. The comb teeth having the shallow depth provide average cutting power and it is difficult to cut short hair or curly hair to obtain a desired hair length and maintain good cutting power.
- In addition, with respect to the hair clipper blades of a conventional hair clipper, abrasion of the hair clipper blades and significant noise occur due to the friction power of the movable blade and the fixed blade, which have a metal component. When diminishing an adhesive degree between the movable blade and the fixed blade for reducing the friction power, there was a problem that the hair is not normally cut.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a conventional hair clipper blade assembly having an oilless metal. The conventional hair clipper blade assembly is described in detail referring toFIG. 1 . - First, a
fixed blade 10 is fixed in a supportingbracket 15. Amovable blade 20 is positioned on thefixed blade 10. Also, themovable blade 20 is fixed by anengineering plastic 25, and thereby fixed in a front portion of theengineering plastic 25 by a rotation movement of a motor not shown transmitted through an eccentric cam so as to be located on thefixed blade 10. Thereby, themovable blade 20 is adhered to the fixed blade by acoil spring 40. Theoilless metal 50 is inserted into agroove portion 251 formed in a rear portion of theengineering plastic 25 and equipped with thegroove portion 251, such that themovable blade 20 coupled with the front portion of theengineering plastic 25 is capable of sliding on thefixed blade 10. - The hair clipper shown in
FIG. 1 is similar to a conventional hair clipper having an implantation surface formed in a middle portion of an etching blade formed on an end of themovable blade 20, an etching implantation surface is formed between the etching blades of themovable blade 20 to prevent that hairs or residuum thereof are inserted between themovable blade 20 and thefixed blade 10. However, in an embodiment of the present invention, the length of the movable blade of the hair clipper with oilless metal is minimized and the length of the movable blade manufactured by an etching process and having a thickness of 0.4 mm is 20˜30% with respect to that of the fixed blade, to have an effective cutting power without oil. - In other words, a feature of a conventional hair clipper was to include a movable blade with minimized magnitude, that is, minimized length. The oilless metal inserted into and connected with the rear-lower portion of the engineering plastic was inserted into the fixed blade with a guide formed on a top portion thereof and was slidden, and the movable blade moved in left and right directions. The foregoing construction was able to provide the hair clipper with fairly good horizontal power.
- However, the construction of a conventional hair clipper needed the oilless metal and additional elements for inserting and coupling the oilless metal, thereby increasing the difficulty of manufacturing the hair clipper blade assembly. In addition, the depths of the movable blade and the fixed blade of a conventional hair clipper were not long enough and therefore, it was hard to cut certain hair styles and types of hair such as curly hair. The movable blade was able to move in the left and right directions by the oilless metal to provide a hair clipper blade with fairly good horizontal power. However, when rotating with high speed, heat occurrence and abrasion problems due to surface friction between metals still remained.

Thehole 340 has an elliptical shape to overlap afront end groove 440 of theguide plate 400. Assembly supports 350 for coupling with the hair clipper body are formed in the left and right end portions of the lower end of themovable body 300, respectively. Eachassembly support 350 has a predetermined height and an extended length. - In an embodiment, the horizontal widths of the front end portion of the fixed
blade body 200, on which the fixedblade 210 is fixed, and the front end portion of themovable blade body 300, on which themovable blade 310 is fixed, may be equal or similar to horizontal widths of the lower end portion and the middle portion, as shown inFIG. 3 . Alternatively, the right and left portions of the front end portions of the fixedblade body 200 and themovable blade body 300 may be extended in a horizontal direction to enlarge horizontal widths of the front end portions of the fixedblade body 200 and themovable blade body 300, as shown inFIG. 5 . - If the comb teeth depth of the movable blade of a conventional hair clipper is assumed to be L1, it is preferable that the comb teeth depth of the
movable blade 310 according to an embodiment of the present invention be 2 L1. That is, the comb teeth depth of the movable blade according to an embodiment of the present invention is twice than that of the movable blade of a conventional hair clipper. In another embodiment, it is preferable that the comb teeth depth of the fixed blade have the range of 2.2 mm to 2.8 mm. - The
movable blade 310 is adhered toward the front portion of the fixedblade 210 and is capable of sliding on the front portion of the fixedblade 210 by the coil spring. In this case, an end of the coil spring is connected with the supporting bracket (not shown) forming the hair clipper and another end of the coil spring is connected with a portion of themovable blade body 300 and the guide plate operating along with the portion. Thus, the horizontal and left/right movements of themovable blade 310 are possible. That is, themovable blade 310 performs the horizontal and left/right movements through an eccentric cam by motor rotation, and the coil spring functions as an intermediation for or facilitates the movements. - As shown in the embodiment of
FIG. 6 , theguide plate 400 has a T-shaped plate structure. Theguide plate 400 includes thegroove 440 formed on an upper end of theguide plate 400 and a fixedbolt hole 420 formed on a lower end of theguide plate 400, into which a fixedbolt 470 is inserted. Thegroove 440 has a rounded and squared shape and overlapping acenter groove 340 of themovable body 300. The fixedbolt hole 420 is connected and adhered to the fixedplate 460. Thereby, theguide plate 400 is fixed to themovable body 300 and the fixedblade body 200 and operates along with themovable body 300 to function as an intermediation for a horizontal movement of themovable blade 310. - In an embodiment, the assembly processes of the fixed
blade body 200, themovable blade body 300, and theguide plate 400 will be described with reference toFIG. 7 , which shows a perspective view. First, themovable body 300 having themoveable blade 310 formed thereon is overlapped the upper end of the fixedblade body 200, on which the fixedblade 210 is formed, and thereby a lower surface of themovable blade 310 is adhered on an upper surface of the fixedblade 210 to be coupled to each other. - Next, after the
guide plate 400 is overlapped the upper surfaces of the middle portions of the fixedblade body 200 and themovable blade body 300, the fixedblade body 200, themovable blade body 300, an theguide plate 400 are assembled as one body by inserting thebolts 470 into a guideplate bolt hole 420 and screwing. In this time, it is preferable to more improve unifying force by overlapping the fixedplate 460 having holes corresponding to the bolt holes 420 and the lower end of theguide plate 400, and inserting thefix bolts 470 into the bolt holes 420. Thus, the fixedblade body 200, themoveable body 300, the coil spring, and theguide plate 400 are assembled in the longitudinal direction to manufacture the hairclipper blade assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this case, as shown in the embodiment ofFIG. 7 , the comb teeth depth of the fixed and movable blades according to an embodiment of the present invention is twice of those of a conventional hair clipper. - An operation of the hair clipper blade in the
hair clipper assembly 100 according to an embodiment is described below. Themovable blade 310 is adhered to the upper surface of the fixedblade 210 by the coil spring to be capable of sliding on the fixedblade 210. Themovable blade 310 is fixed to the front end portion of themovable body 300. Themovable body 300 moves in left and right directions through a rotation movement of a motor and an eccentric cam not shown, to perform a horizontal movement and cut the hair. At this time, in the horizontal movement of themovable blade 310, since a shape of theguide plate 400 limits a movement range of themovable blade 310 within a predetermined horizontal direction range, cutting hair becomes easier as compared to cutting hair with a conventional hair clipper. - In an embodiment of the present invention, the surfaces of the fixed and movable blades and the surface of the plate on which the fixed and movable blades are fixed are coated by DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon film) to improve abrasion resistance and heat resistance. This minimizes heat occurrence when the hair clipper of such embodiment vibrates with high speed, thereby improving the experience of the person whose hair is being cut.
- DLC is generally an amorphous material and has a structure mixed with sp1, sp2, and sp3 hybrid orbitals. Since the properties of a DLC of hardness, corrosion resistance, and abrasion resistance are similar to those of a diamond, the DLC is called “Diamond-like Carbon”. The DLC is also referred to as a DFC, and the DFC is sometimes considered to be the abbreviated form of “Diamond like Carbon”. The DFC is a plasma coating based on carbon like the DLC.
- The DLC coating generally has properties of good hardness, abrasion resistance, electric insulation, high light transmission, and reflection. Since the chemical stability of a surface coated with DLC is fairly good, the DLC coating provides fairly strong protection against corrosion and has fairly good adhesion resistance with another metal. Also, since the properties of the DLC coating have the low coefficient of fraction less than 0.1 nearly similar to MoS2 that is a solid lubrication film, abrasion between a film of the DLC coating and anther material is largely decreased, as compared to other hard thin film.
- The coating working processes are performed through sequential processes of order of stock-in, import inspection, pre-treatment process, holding process, gauging process, coating process, production inspection, packing process, and stock-out. Foreign matters and oil-residuum on the surface of a product are removed in the pre-treatment process, and preferably, in the gauging process, gauging equipments adaptive to a product shape are used. A processing time of about 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes and 30 seconds is required for the coating process.
- Next, referring to
FIG. 8 , an example of a coating method will be described. As shown, in DLC coating, there is a coating method with an adhesive layer and a coating method without the adhesive layer. In the coating method with the adhesive layer, after an adhesive strengthening layer and a buffer layer on an upper surface of a mother material are formed, the DLC surface treatment is performed. Otherwise, in the coating method without the adhesive layer, the DLC surface treatment is directly performed on the upper surface of the mother material. - After the hair clipper blade assembly is assembled through the construction and the assembly processes, the hair clipper blade assembly is combined with the total hair clipper body, including the supporting bracket, to prepare it for use in cutting hair.
- While this invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the claims.
- The present invention relates to a hair clipper assembly. Currently, hair cutting processes using scissors are being rapidly replaced with processes using an electric hair appliance having a hair clipper blade. Also, electric hair appliances are being increasingly used in homes due to convenience. Since various embodiments of the present invention improves the comb teeth depth and the blade shape, the usefulness and industrial availability of the hair clipper assembly according to those embodiments is also increased.
- The use of the terms “a” and “an” and “the” and similar referents in the context of describing the invention (especially in the context of the following claims) are to be construed to cover both the singular and the plural. Furthermore, recitation of ranges of values herein are merely intended to serve as a shorthand method of referring individually to each separate value falling within the range, unless otherwise indicated herein, and each separate value is incorporated into the specification as if it were individually recited herein.
